Not sure if this is the right forum as nobody has posted this information yet, however new phones are announced ahead of CES
You can find this info on google right now however rumored specs are:
- 5" 1080p S-LCD screen
- 1.5ghz quad core S4 Pro
- 2gb RAM
- Jellybean 4.1.1
- 13mp camera
- Adreno 320 GPU
- 16gb storage + expandable memory slot
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the new Sony superphones or are you going to get something else?
The hardware seems very similar to what the Droid DNA is currently offering, except these will have expandable memory which is a bonus.
If the batteries on these are either removable or much higher capacity then I'm in for sure.

5" is a litte too large. Good on the high end specs & launching with JB.

The actual phones are about the same size as the ion so the extra screen size doesn't make it all that much bigger of a device. Definitely not like the note.

Jelly Bean yes but JB part 1 which is really quite old now, should be JB part 2 (4.2.1) on a new phone that isn't even out yet.

Thats a nice looking phone, but honestly I wish companies would start expanding the lifespan

No info about battery!? Thats the most important thing now when screens are humongous. At least 2250mAh... and thats cutting it pretty short. Needs to be replaceable too.

Get a different phone and it starts the 30 days over so when the Z's come out exchange it again. At least I think it still works.
As for the new Z's man they look good. Funny to that people still gripe about 4.1 to 4.2. There is not even a real difference I thought?? Other than bug fixes?? Anyway I think this will be a great device and somehow I get the feeling Sony may have a few surprises up there sleeve. :good:

I would love one if I thought Sony would actually keep the UK SIM free ones up to date

Waiting

What do you guys think about the XPERIA ZL's front camera position?
Is it any good/bad? Or even it's an odd placement?
(Just in case you haven't noticed,it's placed on lower right corner)

Galaxy S III Announced!

The Galaxy S III is Samsung's new flagship smartphone and it's finally broken cover at the company's stand-alone Mobile Unpacked event here in London. With a steady stream of fakes, outright leaks and even event rescheduling, Samsung's claimed almost crazy levels of interest for its new smartphone. Weighing in at 133g (4.7 ounces) and whittled to 8.6mm at its thickest, the rounded-off design has more than a little bit in common with its Galaxy Nexus cousin. Of course, it's Samsung's new 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad processor doing the legwork, and there's 1GB of RAM to help it out. The display has been bumped up in size to a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED affair, sporting a 1280 x 720 pixel count. Happy snappers will have an 8-megapixel rear shooter to play with, and a 1.9-megapixel eye on the front will take care of those video calls. If you were wondering about radios, it's launching with HSPA+, but there's an LTE version in the cards. As for the interface, it's TouchWiz on top of Android 4.0 again, and there's new gesture functions to help you get around. So, there it is, the phone we've all been waiting for (until the next one) but that's not all, be sure to check our hands-on coverage and additional features for the in-depth breakdown.

Looking sexy but I gotta wait like another year, so Galaxy S IV here I come! Our galaxy s2's can stand the test of time though
First!!
Had to be that guy for once ;]
ALSO, I wish it had the 12mp shooter, but we will see what GSIII is for the states, namely Sprint.
I'll change my screen density to 160. Now I got SIII.
Anyone know the battery mAh yet? Interesting device, looks like it's only got a home button now? Unless it pulled an international SGSII and has the menu and back button on the sides. Can't tell.
Really?
So far it looks meh.
Any benchmarks anywhere?

The TW ICS status bar is pretty bad looking, hardly a difference from Gingerbread. They would've gotten me more excited with an AOSP style status bar, but I guess that's something I'll have to do, myself.

the question now becomes, will it be the same footprint as our battery so we can buy one and use it in our phones
So far, HTC One X us version/ Evo 3g lte looks better -
better screen, better camera.
The only thing this phone still has is samsung hardware accelerated apps + possible faster cpu/gpu.
I was actually looking forward to this, but am a bit underwhelmed, its just meh to me for some reason lol.
I don't think its that much of an upgrade from our phone to the SGIII.
S Voice? Sounds like a Siri competitor.

It'll end up being a hit regardless because it's dubbed "quad core".
dont get me wrong im not saying ill never own one but i wont be all waiting like a school girl 6 months for it ..... Ill pickup the EVO LTE first
I'll be waiting for the final product before I decide but I'm definitely going to skip the HTC since my current phone still makes me happy.

What new phone after arc S?

Hey guys! Currently, I own an awesome arc S, but I would like to change my phone. Probably, I will buy myself the phone for Christmas or in November, so I have a lot of time. I was thinking of purchasing SGS3, One X or SG Note. Have I chosen well or you have some suggestions for me? Please, help! I would like my phone to be XFast, have big screen and have at least 2x CPU. The best would be 4x, but SG Note is tempting me...
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
Personally I wouldn't want anything bigger than the arc... Which rules out all those.
My next phone is likely to be the xperia s, or its successor.
I'm not buying anything until I know it's getting jelly bean in a prompt time scale.

Very tempting suggestion, but... Is it sure in 100% that this phone will get custom roms? No. Xperia arc S despite being Sony's flagship phone didn't get a lot of custom roms. This Sony GX is also dual core. I think the only phone with dual core CPU I can have is SG Note. Before buying the Android smartphone I'm also checking independent developers' support.
Note 2 or s3 or one x all are good and more powerfull but by design note may not fit in pocket but it is awsm phone go for s3 or note 2
and check this too

Acro S... Too small...
:laugh:
In my opinion, I think the Arc/Arcs has a very outstanding design among all the brands and not even the newer Sony model could rival the design. Just look at the curve of the phone.
The Japanese rework of Arc looks tempting, but it is quite pointless to buy a new phone with almost exact same look although with upgraded hardware, well at least in my opinion.
It is a tough choice to abandon such a good looking phone like arc but the S3 seems like a phone that will stay relevant for every tasks for a long time but I personally think S2 looks better than S3 though. Lol
The Galaxy Nexus is a cool choice too, seeing as Google phone will always get extra attention from Google and faster to get all the great upgrades. So the game should run fine on it until the next Google phone is out and it also has big 4.55 or. 65 inch screen and the design is pretty stylish.
My 2 cents.

That's the reason i'm leaving the Sony boat.
Great design phone's but not to many dev's .
Yeah I've been looking for my arc's replacement f or a few weeks now but the only one covering all the features would be HTC EVO 4G LTE(SD slot, big battery, 720p non-AMOLED screen, snappy S4) which unfortunately ain't available outside US :/
Hopefully Sony will release the GX pretty soon
Wait for the Sony Xperia GX - that phone are going to kick ass! Or buy an brand new silver coloured Xperia P

Holy cow. That thing is beautiful. Maybe they've been listening to the customers by bringing back the SD slot etc. The choice of colours is pretty nice too. Also, anyone have any clarification on what this "with Google" thing is about, is it something to do with the multi-manufacturer/multi-nexus information we had a while ago, or is it simply going to be placed on all android phones in future?

"With Google" I suspect it is a branding that is gong to be coming to all devices running JB out of the gate going forward.
As nice as this device looks, is this supposed to compete with the Note 2? It seems to have no extra software tailored to use the extra real estate in any meaningful way over the One S even. Likewise 2000mAh battery on a 1080p screen? Unless the sharp screen technology is extremely energy efficient or I'd be surprised to see the device push 3 hours of screen on time at automatic brightness, which given its push as a media consuming / watching device because of its full HD screen is a bit woeful.
To me the device is a bit like 'the emperors new clothes'.... But damn they are sexy clothes.....

I think you're right, it's neither here or there in terms of size. If they were going to go direct with the Samsung they needed a bigger battery (at least 3000mah) and a 5.5 inch screen. I think this is just a "big phone", not a true phablet.
Holy crap!
That is amazing!
I'd trade in my HOX for that bad boy!
It has seriously good looks, has an MicroSD card slot, yes yes yes!
Onboard storage is lacking but I'm guessing that's to conserve space for the MicroSD slot, so meh...
I wonder how thin and light it is!
Its also called the Butterfly not the Butterly.
If you ask me, and you haven't, but I'll put my two cents worth in anyway! It just looks a little taller than the One X. Width and depth seem similar given the "impression" the pics give. Obviously HTC have more to offer than just a bigger screen unlike Apple with their iPhone 5!!!!
Pixel Density of 440ppi as opposed to the iPhone 5's 326ppi, take that retina display!
D: I hope this comes to Europe it looks amazing!

I'm almost annoyed I'm in a contract for my HOX now as I know I'm going to want that so hard when it's released!
So much for HTC not diluting the market this year!!!
This phone will also be waterproof, the nexus variant will be released when the LG nexus is announced. It says on the back of the device with google because it probably has the hardware specs that meet the standards of the Nexus program.
Their are a lot if people saying that this phone has with google because it runs jelly bean out the box not true. Their are many device being released with jelly bean with no with google on the back if it.
Another reason why I believe this is a nexus phone because surely when they unveiled it they would have talked about the hardware but they didn't, because if they do then what are they going to talk about when they unveil the nexus edition in the coming weeks. They also have sad this phone will be available during December so why announce it now.
This is HTC's way of hinting they will be releasing a nexus phone. It looks best in black because then the finish of it is not shiny. Another thing I have noticed is the charger port has a flap that obviously points to it being water proof. They have only spoken about the display ppi they haven't spoken about the screen tech. This will only be spoken about when the google nexus phones are unveiled.
This is certainly the best nexus phone coming out easily beating the LG nexus. The only thing I want from this now is a good battery life which I think will be the same as the one x U.S variant, but slightly better since it will have android 4.2 running on it

I thought we had moved on from the megapixel myth. Bigger is not always better....
I hope it still has use of the HTC Image Sense chip.
Looks great, but I honestly still like the One X's design better. Also, that new Sense variation looks weird, what with those strange icons on the left.

It's probably customizable, those could be widgets.

I'd agree with the poster above you. Battery life's terrible on this phone. Stamina mode, I'd agree, it does a decent job, BUT when your phone's lying dormant. Otherwise, I browsed the PlayStore for a mere 30 minutes the other day, and the percentage dropped from a full charge all the way down to 81. It happened every occasion after that, necessitating me to connect it to a charger while browsing. The same when reading ebooks, even though I keep brightness all the way down to the minimum. The battery just drains way too quickly. At home, it's manageable--you do have access to a charger--but when you're out and about... And it's not even interchangeable that you can carry a spare or two with you.
Back to the subject, though, I do hope there's an eventual 4.4 for the ZL. But we will come to know in a week.
So Guys,
I don't know how you can really doubt the 4.4 for the ZL!!!
We are talking about a Device not close to 1 Year on Air.....know what I mean.
If Sony doesn't care about....last Sony Device I've bought....and I bought a few.
I really like the ZL, never have any hardware issue with it but it will be a disappoint if a device so great in features like the ZL does not get 4.4 kitkat. Our phones are more powerful than the Nexus 4 and they are already in kitkat

So?
My previous phone, Motorola Droid 3, was released July 2011. It never got ICS which was released only only 3 months later (October 2011!!!).
So no I don't take it for granted...

Actually, the ZL's EQUALLY powerful to the Nexus 4. Same processor (Snapdragon S4 Pro), same GPU (Adreno 320), and same amount of RAM (2 GB).
Well my point is the Nexus 4 does not have LTE and NFC enabled and the ZL have it
Sent from my C6506 using xda app-developers app
Nexus 4 has the same processing power and also a 720p screen => better performance. Also it has NFC enabled, but LTE is disabled.

I'm a bit surprised by the NFC support (or lack there of) on the ZL. Does anyone understand why basic NFC functionality works, but Google Wallet does not?
Is it due to missing some hardware security bits (which are being moved to software IIRC in 4.4) or just a lack of app support?
Sony will start rolling 4.3 update from next month & we will also get 4.4 update here is the link: http://t.co/5ZcK1lqKUu

Black model is great !
uh.. Definitly a YES. First thing to do is to swipe through it with finger tops..(I hope it's not "praying to fly out of the hand" material)
What the.....
This cant be real, i will switch from g2 if this is real. This is Samsung Killer
Looks nice indeed, but the sheer size of it and 5.5" + 2K display running on the same battery capacity as the G2 doesn't really add up. Makes the phone a bit tough to consider. Things may change on the announcement day, though.
I dont think those are official pics. They are press renders of all leaks.

BUT s801 is more advanced and eventually consumes less energy. People would hope it's a smaller production set but i don't think it's gonna be s805(with s805 it would be total overkill)
But I'm pretty happy with my g2. Let us face it - whatever phone you buy - you will make 1st impression. After few days you will develop more impressions: negative and positive(yes..every product (stuff..) has : "I like this, I don't like that, people react different to what they see, feel, hear etc..).
This phone will be a mistake if it comes with SD801, it demands SD805 to couple with 2K screen.
The top competition is also on SD801, but they will be rendering much less pixels on FHD screens, so definitely, games will be much more slugish on G3.
It will be FHD 2,073,600 pixels VS QHD 3,686,400 pixels, something around 75% more pixels.
I wish they kept the bottom bezel clear glass as the G2.

I know these aren't the official photos as most mentioned it's just a leak renders but if it happens to be what we see here when they announce it on the 27th of this month I will make my first jump to LG.

I love it... Very nice. I do think this is how it will look because it matches every single leak I have seen, just a lot clearer photo
I hope it turns out exactly as pictured! Its gorgeous! Even thought rumors says it will have a SD801...I'm hoping for the SD805 for future proofing as well as directly competing to the rumored S5 prime. Regardless...the black/Gray G3 will be mine when it releases!

Dont have my g2 long enough to switch.. Looks really great.. German websites as giga.de or androidpit are excepting an sd805. I think it will be so. An 801 is imo not enough for a 2014 flagship

Looks amazing...
I just bought G2 recently and that's been a blast but heck this G3 takes it to another level...
I want and I want it now! Black or gold plz.
It will fail if it will be sd801 + 2k display... that doesnt make any sense :\ Anyway design is beautiful
This phone will come with S805
Phonearena said S801 is for G3 prototype.
And qualcomm said S805 phone will come at may

if snapdragon 600 can handle FHD, 801 can handle QHD without breaking a sweat. For me a minor frame rate drop wouldn't matter cause I yawn @ gaming.

It looks great in my opinion, I like they keep the volume and power buttons in the back, I have the G2 and I'm very used to that now.

LG stepping up their design, and they are improving their UI too, i think i am going to save some money to get this beauty
